Sole of a Man

Here's a conundrum (and a candidate for a Fuck My Life sentiment):

I have size 7 feet. It's never been too much of a problem in the past.

I went shoe shopping today. I went to two places. Both places didn't have shoes in Mens 7. So I asked around. Both stores told me the same thing:

"Yeah, Mens starts at 8. You could try Boys."

Me: "They have 7 in boys now?"

"No, they go up to 6."

So . . . huh? Are my feet destined to dwell inside Dutch Clogs the rest of my life?
